Hiya,
I'm putting together an entry level gaming pc for my brother. His funds are extremely tight @ around £250. He has ALL the peripherals, and as such is literally just wanting a case/CPU/Mobo/RAM/PSU/GFX/HDD. NO Operating Sys required.
The aim of the build is to get it so it literally just plays most games in the past 5 years at ~30 fps on low/medium, nothing spectacular.
I've found two possible rigs as follows:
RIG 1:
CPU: AMD FM2 A4 5300 Dual Core CPU 3.4Ghz
RAM: 4gb DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory
Mobo: Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2
Graphics: R7 250 2gb ddr3
Case: Zalman Mini T3 Black
PSU: 500 W
HDD: 500gb
----------------------------------------
or this rig:
RIG 2:
CPU: AMD A4 4000 Dual Core 3.2GHz
RAM: 4GB generic RAM (I believe)
Mobo: ASRock A55M-DGS
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD7750 1GB + integrated HD7480D
Case: Generic cheap case
PSU: Generic 500 W (I believe)
HDD: 500gb
------------------------------------------
Given my requirements, which rig is the right one to buy?
Have you guys got any other ideas given the budget restrictions?
Thanks in advance for the help!
